That's a tough one, is it actually fixed in place? If not it could be
considered as a non combustible obstruction, not fixed in place, thus not
requiring sprinklers below - but that might be a stretch.

NFPA 13, 2019

9.5.5.3.2* Sprinklers shall not be required under obstructions that are not
fixed in place, such
as conference tables.
The size at which obstructions become too large to ignore is typically 4 ft
(1.2 m). This width is reduced in
Chapters 13 and 14 for CMSA and ESFR sprinklers. Paragraph 9.5.5.3.2
recognizes that some obstructions
larger than 4 ft (1.2 m), for example, a conference table, are not fixed in
place and are not likely to have any
significant combustibles located beneath them. In such cases, additional
sprinklers are not needed below
the obstruction.
